Marriage Ministry
Worldwide Marriage Encounter's mission is to
proclaim the value of Marriage and Holy Orders in the Church and in the world.
It is the largest pro-marriage movement in the world offering a weekend
experience for couples who want to make their good marriage even better. The
weekend provides couples with a Catholic experience, facilitated by three team
couples and a priest, but individuals of all faith are welcome. The emphasis is
on communication and the tools husbands and wives need to support them in living
God's desire for their marriage. If you want to learn more about this
unique approach to revitalizing the sacrament of Marriage, please join us for an
upcoming weekend.
Ministry of Mother's Sharing (M.O.M.S.)
MOMS is a peer organization committed to motherhood, family and
service within our Catholic community. We welcome mothers of all ages, with kids
in all stages of life. From September to May, our members gather regularly to
support each other in friendship and affirmation of our roles as Catholic
mothers. All meetings include a guest speaker, fellowship and food. In addition
to our Monthly Meetings, we offer the 8 week MOMS sessions, a great foundation
for forming friendships with faith minded mothers in a small group setting.
These sessions are designed to help the Christian mother appreciate the
sacredness of her role. Although not a Bible study, the program will enhance the
Christian perspective on topics like Self-Esteem and Self-Acceptance; Stress,
Worries and Anxiety; Everyday Spirituality and others.
Morning Rosary/Prayer Group
After the 8:30 morning mass, gathers in prayer and fellowship. Join us after morning Mass as we come before our Lord to intercede for one another and to give thanks for all our blessings.
